AFC Wimbledon announces new stadium construction date

English League One soccer side AFC Wimbledon is edging closer the club’s dream of a new stadium next to the site of its spiritual home in Plough Lane in Southwest London with the announcement that construction is expected to begin in April or May this year on the new facility.

The build of a new 10,000-seater stadium will enter its next phase following the completed groundworks at the former Wimbledon Greyhound Stadium in the UK capital. The team, a rebirth of soccer side Wimbledon FC created by fans following its relocation and renaming to Milton Keynes Dons in 2004, will play just 250 yards from the original team’s Plough Lane ground.
